These pictures were mostly taken at my allotment in Bristol (UK) or in my greenhouse.
Some show plants I'm very proud of. Many other show ones that "went wrong" and I
needed to show them to other people to get advice! Feel free to leave comments below any picture.

Ok Brooke, as we discussed a while back, the recipe will be in Jenni Malsingh's new book Mango Soup, hopefully coming out in 2009. There's a sneak preview here:

Hi Mike, yes the garlic for 2006 came from the IOA Garlic Farm. So far it has been a bumper crop. I've hung on for he later varieties - some have done well, some seem smaller, but have had less rain. Colin

Hi Colin. I think you got your Garlic from The Garlic Farm IOW, right? Mine look just like yours. I also got some Thermidrome from the Organic Gardening Catalogue, and that's done well also. I have an allotment in Bedford. The books I've read give the advice in blue: it's safer to dig up too early than too late. Last year and 2004 I got a lot of mouldy and soft bulbs, perhaps, as you say, because we got rain at the wrong time. This year we've had just the right amount. In addition, I put a deal of ash in the ground after digging up spuds, and that's where I grew the garlic. [I meant to post this to forum, but they wouldn't let me in!]
